CATU MS-918-L LV Detector
CATU Low Voltage Detector
MS-918-L
CATU MS-918-L low voltage detectors are compliant to IEC 61243-3 standards and the European standard EN 50110-1. The MS-918-L is suitable for indoor/outdoor use and is able to check voltage levels from m 12 to 690V AC, 750V DC.
Safety features include a light indicating the presence of a dangerous voltage (> 50 V), test button to verify correct functionality and a high degree of protection thanks to IP65 and IK06 protection means this voltage detector is suitable for all environments.
The voltage detectors manufactured by CATU Electrical distributed by Thorne & Derrick are designed to carry out electrical safety checks on the absence of voltage during electrical or non-electrical work with the power off and in accordance with the mandatory rules for intervention on work or electrical installation.
